The second day begun really good for our TechEd crew, as Code Project in their Tech|Ed release awarded Telerik the best developer productivity tool in Silverlight category. In addition, Telerik is in the running for three “Best of TechEd” awards this year!   Best Database Development Tools (with OpenAccess ORM) Best BI Tools (with Telerik Reporting) Best Software Components (with Telerik Ultimate Collection)   While winning any of these would be great, even inclusion for such prestigious awards is a great honour for all of us at Telerik. Stay tuned – I’ll post you on any exciting developments here. Inspired by the awards, nominations and feedback we...

Over the next few days we will be at TechEd New Orleans and we will be posting a few blog posts to recap highlights of our day.   TechEd begun with keynote by Bob Muglia.
